17? Lots of days I can only wish i got a 17

I’d rather roll a 17 than a 19 haha

This is what I tell myself when I buy lottery tickets. I legit imagine the D20 and everything. Keeps me going.

There’s actually something to this. Olympians that were surveyed reported more satisfaction with a bronze than a silver.

maybe the real meme was the memes we memed along the way.

That makes a lot of sense, thinking about it. With a bronze, you can say, “well, I had a really rough day, but even still I managed to eke out a bronze.” But with silver, you’re tempted to say “…but could I have done 0.2s better and got the gold?”

needs an 18 to pass

10 over also crits.

You just gotta pick easy DCs. That’s why I exclusively fight pre-schoolers.

I hate this; back in 3e/3.5e a keen scimitar could crit on a 17 because a scimitar’s crit range was 18-20 (keen widens crit range)

I hate 5e for simplifying everything so much

Amen brother

Note the 17.

Love you too

Try Pathfinder! You crit whenever you exceed the target by 10 or more, and different weapons have different crit effects. For example, a Longbow is Deadly d10 so in addition to doing double base damage you also add in a d10. Your scimitar is Forceful and Sweep, which doesn’t do anything extra on a crit, but does add extra damage and a bonus to hit with multiple attacks. Perfect for a whirling dervish type character.

Say it again after rolling a 3.

I rolled a 4

That’s how they get you. Fukken scammers.

Their AC was 18 so my best wasn’t good enough to make a dent today.

Except you should be imagining a D900,000,000

Depending on the sport sometimes a bronze is a win and a silver is a loss. With some sports, if it’s a one on one thing, there’s a game that’s basically “if you win it’s a bronze, if you lose it’s fourth place” and then the next game (with different team obviously) is “if you win it’s a gold, if you lose it’s a silver”. So if you get a bronze, you won, if you get a silver, you lose.

For some games, you want to roll low. So a 17 would be a failure.
